Password Best Practices
Create complex passwords combining:
- Uppercase letters (A-Z)
- Lowercase letters (a-z)
- Numbers (0-9)
- Special characters (!@#$%)
Avoid using:
- Personal information (birthdays, names)
- Common phrases or sequences ("123456", "password")
- The same password across multiple platforms

Enable 2FA for additional protection:
- Link your mobile number or email

- Prevents unauthorized access even if password is compromised
Proactive Account Protection
- Regular password updates: Change every 3-6 months
